the ultimate steps to a clean and fresh start

sort your music into playlists, and delete the songs you don’t listen to anymore.

trash useless emails, adverts; unsubscribe from newsletters you don’t care about

delete old awkward social media accounts you don’t use anymore, it’ll help clean your mind, even if you haven’t thought of them in a long time.

if you have the time, clean your workspace and room, using the konmari method. Having less helps thinking less.

before going back to school shopping, look for any leftover supplies from last year, it’s better for your wallet and the environement

if you’ve had troubles with your past organization system, make a list of what went wrong, and how you can change it, then of what went right, so you can impliment that in your new system.

i suggest investing more money on necessary supplies, like your planner, computer or writing medium depending on your preferences, so that they fit all of your criterias, because the way you organize yourself will a big impact on your grades, and general wellbeing throughout the year.

Try to balance out your morning routine between getting a maximum of sleep and not having to rush, as it causes stress, and as weeks pass, tireness.

Please remember that your own wellbeing and mental health is the priority, over grades and/or performance/said productivity. I use this checklist to avoid stress before the back to school season, and the anxiety my usual lack of organisation causes throughout the year.

A sensation of emotional or bodily tension is referred to as stress. Any event or thought that makes you annoyed, furious, or nervous can trigger it. The prevalence of this state of thinking is demonstrated by statistics. According to the American Institute of Stress, approximately 33% of persons experience severe stress. 77 percent of people suffer from stress, which has a negative impact on their physical health. There can be so many things that can cause anyone stress like;

facing big changes

worrying about something

not having much or any control over the outcome of a situation

While no one can completely escape stress, you can learn to manage it in healthy ways that can help you recover faster. Reduce stress triggers by eating and drinking healthily, exercising regularly, quitting smoking and nicotine products, learning and practicing relaxation techniques. Effective stress management allows you to free yourself from the grip that stress has on your life, allowing you to be happier, healthier, and more productive. The ultimate goal is to live a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun—as well as the resilience to keep going when things become tough.
